What is opt out and why it is necessary for a successful email list campaign?

Opt out system of email list management refers to the method by which the list subscriber can stop the future mailings either by an unsubscribe link in the email or or by sending an email to a particular email address. Sometimes a subscriber signs up to an email list and after receiving a couple of emails he thinks that its not the newsletters he is looking for. So the person will check for any unsubscribe link at the bottom of the message (Generally, an unsubscribe link is added at the bottom of the message). When he’s not able to locate any way of unsubscribing present in the email he received, he will delete the email. But what if the same newsletter comes twice thrice and again and again. In this case he will tend to report it as spam rather than to request the list owner to unsubscribe him manually. So, there should be a method to unsubscribe in the email itself. This system of email list management is known as opt out where the subscriber has the option to stop receiving any future mailings as per his needs.
